To all 'who-m it may concern.'

Be it known that I, PATRICK d. SULLIVAN, a cititen of the United States,residing in the city and county of San Francisco and State 5 ofCalifornia, have invented certain new and usefulA improvements inllroningldoard Gabinete, oi which the 4lollowing is a specification.

The present invention relates to improve- -m ments in ironing boardcabinets, and has for its principal objects to provide an improved formoi mounting for the board, by the ernployment of which the usual hingedstrut is dispensed with, and the lower cabinet panel 15 is hinged toswing outwardly and provide a strut and also close the lower end of thecabinet; to construct a device having an im proved. forni of means forlocking the board when in itsextended position. 2o With the abovementioned and other obin. view, the invention consists in the novelconstruction and combination of parts hereinafter described.,illustrated in the aoconipanying drawings and pointed out in the asolaiin hereto appended; it being understood that various changes in theform, vproportion, site', and minor details of construction within tliescope of the claim, may be resorted. to without departing from thespirit line ifi-Le of Fig. l, disclosing the lie lower panel. g moreparticularly to the drawe, wherein lilie` characters of reference natecorresponding parts throughout everal views, the numeral l indicates able wall or artition in which is formed recess or ca inet 2 having thevertical side members 3, and the top and bottom vmembers l and 5. Theupper portion of the recess or cabinet is closed by a suitable door orpanel 6, hinged as at 7 to one of the side members 3 and adapted toswing on a' vertical axis. 'lhe lower portion of the recess positionsuFig. 3 is a sectional view iipecication of Letters Patent. i Patintd Fb,239 1915 Application lcdseptemhcr t, 19M. Berlalto. 863,653.

or cabinet is closed by a suitable door ory panel 8, carrying at itslower side edges the dowel ins 9 which. are received in openings l()y int et'iont face oli' the side members 3, and said openings are adapted tobe closed by the detachableinoldin' or tacingill. By mounting the panel'or oor 8 as above described, the upper end of the same is capable ofswinging outwardly on a horizontal axis.

' Connected by a hingel tothe upper edge vat of the door or panel 8 isasui-table ironing board 13, adapted when in its folded position toswing at its immer endalong the inner face oit the ariel 8 and lie in anup right position init e recess or. cabinet, as in f engage theunderside for" the rear end or" the 'lill ironing board M, when in itsextended position, and loclr the saine in engagement with the stopmember 15. Suitable chains 17 limit the outward swing of the upper endot vthe lower panel or door 8, and the lower end or" said panel or door,when the upper endis swung outwardly, is adapted to overlie a support 18which prevents strain being placed on the dowels 9.

A suitable sleeve board 18 is pivotally mounted in the cabinet, as at19, above the board i3, and the free end of the same is capable ofswinging upwardly into the' cabinet or outwardly, as in dotted lines. A.stop 2O limits the outward pivotal inovement of the sleeve board. l ltwill be apparent the lower @snel 8 provides a closure for tlie lowerportion of the cabinet when the board 13 is in i i folded positiontherein, and also adords a supporting strut for the board when the sameis in use.

Having thus described my invention what ldd cabinet. to swing on ehorizontal axis and .for closing the lower portion thereof and capableof swinging outwardly at its upper end, flexible means secured to thesides of said cabinet and/to said panel for limiting the outwardmovement of the upper end of n seid panel, an ironing board hingedwithin its length to the upper end of said panel and capable of swingingfrom e horizontal to an upright position and formed in its upper faceadjacent to its inner end with e trans- Verse extending groove, e,substantially i.- shapecl stationary stop 'in said cabinet for
